He slipped in the room. The security in the building was laughable. His eyes landed on the solitary person in the room. He took in the visual of her in her veil and dress. She remained oblivious. Her eyes focused on her reflection in the mirror.
“Well just look at you.” He spoke effectively jolting her out of her stupor.
The bride swung around, eyes wide with surprise. “Noah.” She said softly acknowledging his presence. She was seemingly unsurprised by his visit to her.
“What’s with the lack of an entourage?” he gestured to the empty room. “I would have thought that daddies Berry would be all over you right now.”
“They were here a moment ago. I just needed minute to myself.” She responded easily.
He choose to ignore the subtext that he should just leave her alone. There were some things he needed to say. “Getting cold feet?” he questioned.
“No. ” Rachel responded. He noted that it was a hint too forceful. She continued on hesitantly. “Should I be?“”
“Look I wasn’t going to say anything but… ” LIE. His hand reached up and scrubbed his nape. His uncharacteristic unease made Rachel gulp in anticipation.
“Tell me why I should be nervous Noah.”
“For a million reasons Rachel.” He took a deep breath and let out a rant that the old Rachel Berry would have been proud of. “Because he slept with Santana and lied about it. Because he never apologized to you for shit he put you through. Because you should get married at a temple like the proper Jew you are. Because you deserve more than being a Lima loser’s wife. Because he keeps coming back to you when the truth is that if he really loved you he wouldn’t have left. Because he cooked you meat on the night that he took your virginity.” He was practically yelling by the end of his rant. He looked into her eyes and saw her fear and insecurity and finished softly, grasping her hands tightly in his. “Because being scared of loneliness isn’t the reason to tie yourself to someone for the rest of your life. ”
She let out a shaky breath. “That’s a lot of reasons Noah.”
“And they are good ones too, Berry. So now you tell me why do you want to marry him?” he looked at her imploringly, genuinely wanting an answer.
The silence was deafening as she gathered her thoughts.
“I don’t know.”

A/N 2: Yes I am back. Somewhat hesitantly I’m taking a turn at writing puckleberry. I pretty much wrote chlollie and while I still love that couple I can’t seem to find my muse without new episodes to prompt me hence glee and puckleberry. Sorry if Puck seemed a lil out of character. I choose to believe that if it came down to it he could say what sort of thing. I tried to puck it up a bit but I felt like it took away from the words so here is what I came up with. The end is somewhat abrupt but I kinda like stopping it there. Please be kind and review!!
